6h agoBrazil seeks adaptation-finance package ahead of COP30, says official
Brazil’s COP30 summit president Andre Correa do Lago said the country wants to help developing nations secure more financing for climate-change adaptation ahead of the UN conference in November. The United Nations’ Adaptation Gap Report estimates about US$310 billion will be needed annually by 2035. Brazil hopes to launch a “package of resources” combining rich-country commitments, philanthropy and development-bank backing. The aim is to close the large funding gap where developing nations currently receive only around US$26 billion annually.

6h agoIndia plans to hike foreign investment cap in state-run banks to 49%, source says
India’s government is planning to raise the cap on direct foreign investment in state-run banks to 49% — up from the current limit of around 20% — according to a source close to policy discussions. The proposal aims to attract more foreign capital into India’s banking sector while preserving government majority ownership. Twelve large public-sector banks hold combined assets of ₹171 trillion (~US$1.95 trillion). If finalised, the move would mark one of India’s biggest open-up steps in the financial-sector reform agenda.

6h agoFederal shutdown could cost US economy up to $14 billion
The ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown may reduce fourth-quarter GDP by between US$7 billion and US$14 billion (up to 2%) due to delayed federal spending, including pay, goods and services, and welfare benefits, the Congressional Budget Office said. About 750,000 federal workers have been furloughed since October 1, 2025. The agency cautioned that while much of the decline may be recovered, a portion of the loss may be permanent, depending on how long the shutdown lasts.

7h agoChina buys first U.S. soybean cargoes ahead of Trump-Xi summit
China’s state-owned COFCO Corporation purchased three U.S. soybean cargoes — about 180,000 metric tons — the country’s first such buys from the current U.S. harvest. The order precedes a planned summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in South Korea, and is seen as a symbolic gesture amid trade-tension negotiations. While the volume is modest compared with China’s total imports, the move reinvigorates hopes of a broader agricultural deal. Traders cautioned that a sustained uptick in demand remains uncertain given South American competition and pricing pressures.

Across the globe, major companies from Amazon to Nestlé and UPS have ramped up layoffs, with a Reuters tally showing more than 25,000 job cuts announced in the U.S. this month and over 20,000 in Europe. Many of the reductions are tied to automation and artificial-intelligence deployment rather than cyclical downturns. Executives said dim consumer sentiment and elevated costs are prompting structural shifts rather than temporary adjustments. Analysts say the trend could signal deeper labour-market softening ahead.

7h agoTrump again targets Fed’s Powell over interest-rate cuts
U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticised Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a speech in Gyeongju, South Korea, accusing him of being “too late” in cutting interest rates. Trump claimed the Fed was hurting business sentiment and undermining the U.S. economy. He went on to forecast 4% growth in the first quarter of 2026, far higher than most analysts expect. The remarks underscore rising tensions between the White House and the central bank over the pace and direction of monetary policy.

The dialogue builds on a 2023 agreement to reduce bilateral tensions, and both sides committed to using established mechanisms to resolve ‘ground issues’. While no new treaty was signed, the renewed engagement underscores an emphasis on stability amid regional competition and strategic rivalry. Analysts view the move as a signal of measured diplomacy rather than a breakthrough shift in relations.

The storm brought heavy rainfall and gusts of up to 90 km/h across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana and West Bengal, damaging over 38,000 ha of crops and uprooting utility poles. Restoration efforts are underway, with authorities urging residents in low-lying coastal zones to stay alert and evacuate if needed.

Portugal’s chemical, petrochemical and refining firms estimate they must invest around €30 billion (US$35 billion) to meet net-zero goals by 2050, according to industry group APQuímica. Current annual investment in growth and efficiency is about €1 billion; the gap underscores the scale of transition challenges. Firms need capital for electrification, green hydrogen, biomass and carbon-capture projects as they account for over one-third of Portugal’s industrial greenhouse-gas emissions. Industry officials say policy clarity and incentives are essential to meet targets.

7h agoIndia considers $12 billion bailout for state power distributors
India is mulling a bailout plan of more than $12 billion (over ₹1 trillion) for debt-laden state-run power distribution firms, conditional on reform. To qualify for funds, states must either privatise the utilities or list them within three years. The sector faces combined losses of about ₹7.08 trillion and debt of ₹7.42 trillion. Private power companies stand to benefit if reform is realised. Political resistance and legal hurdles could delay implementation, though the policy intent signals reform urgency in India’s utility sector.

India’s rupee held around 88.24 per U.S. dollar after briefly sliding to 88.345, supported by suspected intervention from the Reserve Bank of India ahead of month-end dollar demand and maturing non-deliverable forwards. Foreign investors in equities have modestly increased flows in October, and the offshore Chinese yuan strengthened amid U.S.–China trade optimism. Importers continued to bid for dollars but central-bank action helped anchor the currency despite external pressures and global policy uncertainty.

7h agoFederal shutdown could cost U.S. economy up to $14 billion
The ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown may reduce fourth-quarter GDP by between $7 billion and $14 billion (up to 2 %) due to halted spending on employee compensation, goods, services and benefits, the Congressional Budget Office said. With around 750,000 federal workers furloughed since October 1, the agency expects some output loss will be permanent depending on the duration of the shutdown and policy responses. Markets are watching for ripple effects on confidence, demand and global spill-overs.

The Federal Reserve lowered its policy rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75%-4.00%, citing weak data and the effects of the U.S. government shutdown. Chair Jerome Powell emphasised that although easing was warranted, further cuts are not assured and will depend on incoming economic readings. Markets initially cheered the move but pared expectations for a December cut—probability slipping to roughly 71% from 90% pre-announcement. Attention now shifts to upcoming inflation and employment releases for guidance.

Digital-asset manager 21Shares filed for regulatory approval to launch a passive exchange-traded fund that will track the price of the “HYPE” token, signalling increased institutional demand for crypto-asset exposure. The application comes just days after 21Shares announced its acquisition by FalconX, a crypto-trading firm, and ahead of broader approvals for spot crypto ETFs under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amidst the U.S. government shutdown and thinning staff. The move underscores how mainstream financial vehicles are converging with digital-asset markets and highlights regulatory gaps still in play.

Even as the U.S. government shutdown drags on and fiscal deficits rise, the U.S. Treasury bond market remains oddly placid. The MOVE Index — a gauge of short-term Treasury yield volatility — has slipped to its lowest level in nearly four years, signalling investor confidence or complacency. Market participants say ample central-bank liquidity and expectations of future rate cuts could be keeping volatility muted, even though structural risks such as high public debt and liquidity-strain remain. Analysts caution that the calm may be masking underlying tensions.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown may reduce fourth-quarter GDP by between $7 billion and $14 billion (up to 2 %) due to halted spending and stalled operations. The figure reflects direct costs but excludes ripple effects that might emerge from weakened business or consumer confidence. The CBO emphasised that while much of the output loss may be recovered later, a portion might be permanently foregone depending on the duration of the shutdown and policy responses.

Economists warn that sustained concentration among megacaps could distort portfolio diversification metrics and policy benchmarks. Nvidia’s scale mirrors the financial gravity once associated with energy supermajors in earlier decades. Portfolio strategists foresee potential inclusion-weight caps emerging within passive-index governance if valuations continue to expand at current momentum.

Private investment and strong consumption are expected to reinforce momentum through the second half of the year. Economists said India remains one of the few large economies balancing growth with fiscal prudence amid global volatility.

13h agoSEBI’s proposed cap on mutual fund brokerage aims to reduce investor costs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) released draft rules to limit mutual fund equity brokerage at 0.02% and derivatives at 0.01%, seeking to curb hidden costs and improve pricing transparency. Analysts note this move could compress distributor margins but enhance returns for investors through lower transaction expenses. The regulator’s broader review of fund expenses also targets improved governance and disclosure norms. Brokerages may see near-term pressure as funds adjust operational models under the new regime.

Sources say the Indian market regulator has proposed prohibiting mutual-fund houses from participating in pre-IPO equity placements, citing potential valuation and liquidity risks for retail investors. The move would reshape how asset managers approach early-stage offerings and could impact deal pipelines in India’s startup-ecosystem funding environment. The decision is part of a broader regulatory push to enhance stability in mutual-fund investing, especially as growth-oriented funds increasingly access high-return private offerings.

16h agoIndia’s asset-managers tumble after regulator’s mutual fund fee revamp proposal
Shares of several Indian asset-management companies plunged up to 8% after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) proposed sharp cuts in brokerage fee caps for cash and derivatives trades, signalling a major hit to profitability for AMCs and brokers. Institutional brokerage firms also face pressure as cash transaction fee caps fall from 12 bps to 2 bps and derivatives from 5 bps to 1 bp. Analysts warn that some firms could see profit-before-tax shrink by 30-33% by 2027 unless they restructure. The move benefits investors through lower costs but challenges the business models of many AMCs and market brokers.

At a Mumbai event, he noted that while India’s UPI system reduces reliance on stablecoins domestically, globally the $300 billion-plus stablecoin market threatens banks’ deposit base and central banks’ tools.

India is mulling a bailout plan of more than ₹1 trillion ($12 billion) for debt-laden state power distribution firms. Under the proposal, states will have to privatise majority control or list the utilities on a stock exchange within three years to access federal loans. The distribution companies carry losses of ₹7.08 trillion and debt of ₹7.42 trillion as of March 2024. Private energy firms stand to benefit, though political resistance and legal hurdles could slow implementation.

The move threatens profit margins and could tighten Asia’s spot crude market. Companies are exploring Middle Eastern and Latin American suppliers while meeting compliance deadlines. Analysts expect potential short-term price volatility and reduced refinery throughput until alternative deals stabilize supply chains.

Food prices are expected to decline about 6.1% in 2025 and 0.3% in 2026. Industrial-metal and energy prices are also weak amid oversupply and lower demand. The commodity slide is alleviating inflation pressures across many economies and giving policymakers more flexibility. However, some items such as beef and cocoa remain elevated amid supply constraints and structural changes.

Major central banks are confronting a policy dilemma as global economic growth cools and labour-market strength weakens, pushing them toward a more dovish stance. Inflation pressures are moderating in some regions, but financial-stability risks and embedded inflation expectations remain. In this environment, central banks may need to balance support for growth with inflation control, even as traditional tools lose potency. Uncertainty around policy effectiveness is increasing, as markets expect continued accommodation while analysts warn of limited upside in growth engines.

Japan’s government announced in a monthly economic report that in October 2025 the economy is recovering moderately, driven by strong capital investment in software and digitalisation rather than private consumption. Exports were flat, with shipments to Asia steady but U.S.-bound exports weakening amid tariffs. The number of bankruptcies rose in September due to labour-shortages, though it remains unclear if the trend will persist. The government, under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is preparing a large fiscal stimulus as the Bank of Japan meets to consider interest-rate policy.

European asset-manager DWS Group announced net long-term fund flows of €12.1 billion (~US$13 billion) in Q3 2025, driven predominantly by passive-strategy products such as ETFs and index-funds. Active-management strategies saw far smaller inflows, signalling investor preference for lower-cost vehicles and diversified portfolios. The strong passive-fund momentum reflects broad shifts in the asset-management industry and may amplify fee-pressure on active managers. Analysts expect further margin compression and structural change in product offerings as scale becomes ever more critical in fund economics.

The global cryptocurrency market slipped about 1.5% in the past 24 hours, with total market capitalization falling to nearly US$3.88 trillion as major tokens like Bitcoin hovered around US$113,000. Traders cited thinning liquidity, a stronger dollar and caution ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision as key drivers. Despite institutional-ETF demand and some accumulation, the short-term tone turned defensive. Analysts say a confirmed rate cut could reignite upside momentum, but for now the market is consolidating until clearer macro signals emerge.

With the U.S. federal government shutdown ongoing, key economic data such as monthly employment and inflation reports are unavailable, complicating Federal Reserve policy decisions. The central bank must navigate rate-cut expectations while lacking full visibility into labour-market and price trends. Some officials may rely on alternative indicators like real-time job postings and consumer surveys, but these lack the scope of standard releases. The data gap raises risks that the Fed could mis-judge economic momentum and either cut too soon or too late.

Global commodity prices have plunged toward their lowest in six years, according to the World Bank. Food-commodity prices are projected to fall about 6.1% in 2025 and another 0.3% in 2026, with major declines in grains like rice, wheat and maize. Meanwhile, oil prices are expected to drop further, driven by oversupply and weakening demand. The commodity slide is helping curb inflation across many economies and giving policymakers room to reduce rates, though some sectors such as dairy and beef still face price pressures.

Global commodity prices have plunged toward their lowest in six years, according to the World Bank. Food-commodity prices are projected to fall about 6.1% in 2025 and another 0.3% in 2026, with major declines in grains like rice, wheat and maize. Meanwhile, oil prices are expected to drop further, driven by oversupply and weakening demand. The commodity slide is helping curb inflation across many economies and giving policymakers room to reduce rates, though some sectors such as dairy and beef still face price pressures.

The jump highlights the accelerating preference for low-cost, indexed investment vehicles amid cost-sensitivity and scrutiny of active-management performance across markets.

Bitcoin traded around US$113,000 ahead of the Federal Reserve policy decision, as liquidity thinned and traders shifted into defensive postures.

The cryptocurrency’s tight trading range and declining risk-appetite hint at potential volatility once the Fed statement drops. Market participants remain alert to signals on interest-rates, inflation and regulatory tone, all of which could dictate crypto’s next directional move.

Shares of a ₹100-or-less Indian small-cap IT company surged about 20% after announcing a joint venture with a U.S. partner to build AI-chip architecture.

The event underscores how investor attention is shifting deeper into tech narratives, though governance and valuation remain key concerns.

According to the World Bank, food-commodity prices are expected to fall ~6.1% in 2025 and ~0.3% in 2026. Industrial-metal prices remain weak amid excess capacity and soft demand. The trend is influencing central-bank policy and corporate cost outlooks. Investors are recalibrating inflation expectations, profit-margins and cost bases as commodity weakness becomes persistent rather than cyclical.

Volatility in fixed-income markets fell to multi-year lows as expectations of a rate cut by the U.S. Fed solidified. Key gauge indices such as the MOVE index dropped significantly, indicating diminished risk premiums and calmer bond-market dynamics. With yields stuck in tight ranges and financial-conditions easing, traders are betting on smoother policy for now. That said, experts warn that the complacency may reverse sharply if economic data or central-bank language diverges from market hopes.

19h agoFed moves toward a rate cut amid limited data and rising uncertainty
The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its benchmark rate by a quarter-point to the 3.75-4.00% range in its October 28-29 meeting, despite facing a data gap caused by the U.S. government shutdown. Policymakers lack the full September employment report and are navigating a mix of lingering hiring softness and moderating inflation. Some officials are concerned that loosening too quickly could risk a rebound in inflation, while others argue for greater support amid early signs of labour-market cooling and uncertain economic momentum.

The Fed is poised to cut rates despite missing key employment data, reflecting a balance between inflation risks and softening labour-market signals.
The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its benchmark rate by a quarter-point to the 3.75-4.00% range in its October 28-29 meeting, despite facing a data gap caused by the U.S. government shutdown. Policymakers lack the full September employment report and are navigating a mix of lingering hiring softness and moderating inflation. Some officials are concerned that loosening too quickly could risk a rebound in inflation, while others argue for greater support amid early signs of labour-market cooling and uncertain economic momentum.

19h agoIndia equities inch higher ahead of Fed, but asset-managers lag
Indian stock benchmarks opened modestly higher on 29 October 2025, as investors awaited a highly anticipated rate-cut decision by the Federal Reserve. The Nifty 50 rose around 0.14% and the BSE Sensex edged up 0.05%, with broad-based buying in metals and energy. However, shares of asset-management firms declined after fee-structure overhaul rumours emerged. Market sentiment is being shaped by global monetary policy cues and India’s evolving regulatory landscape, placing domestic flows and foreign capital under the microscope.

Shares of leading Indian asset-management companies plunged as much as 10% after the Securities and Exchange Board of India released a consultation paper proposing major cuts in mutual-fund fee structures and exit loads. The draft suggests reducing long-term fund charges and removing certain loads altogether to enhance investor transparency. Analysts warn the overhaul could compress margins and force AMCs to re-engineer distribution and product models. The move is seen as part of a broader clamp-down on costs in India’s asset-management industry amid growing regulatory scrutiny.

The International Monetary Fund raised its global-growth forecast for 2025 to 3.2 % (from 3.0 %) and maintained 3.1 % for 2026, citing more benign tariffs and resilient consumption. However, it cautioned that a resurgence of U.S.–China trade tensions, geopolitical shocks or a sharper inflation rebound could derail the recovery. Emerging markets are expected to grow ~4.2 % this year, while advanced economies are forecast at ~1.6 %. The IMF emphasised that structural reforms, investment in innovation and policy coordination remain crucial to sustain momentum.

India’s asset-management industry is witnessing the emergence of Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) as a new investor category: minimum investment of ₹10 lakh, offering high-risk, high-return strategies between traditional mutual funds and PMS. With retail investors seeking differentiated exposures, AMCs are launching SIFs focused on alternatives, mid-cap, and sector-specific plays. The move comes amid heavy concentration in existing equity flows and regulatory shifts. Industry experts say monitoring of transparency, liquidity and investor suitability will be key as SIFs attempt to bridge the investment-product gap.

Economists warn this could erode the “no-hire, no-fire” pattern seen earlier this year and dampen household income and spending.

The trend raises questions for Federal Reserve policy as labour-market strength becomes less robust.
Major global companies announced large layoffs today, signalling a broader shift in labour markets: Amazon plans to cut up to 14,000 roles (with potential for more), while Nestlé and others slashed 16,000+ jobs. Firms cite weakening consumer demand and accelerating automation via AI as key drivers. Economists warn this could erode the “no-hire, no-fire” pattern seen earlier this year and dampen household income and spending.

21h agoIndian asset-managers tumble as SEBI proposes sweeping fee-cap changes
Shares of India’s asset-management firms plunged today—by up to 8%—after the Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed deep cuts in brokerage fee caps: from 12 bps to 2 bps in cash markets and from 5 bps to 1 bp in derivatives. Analysts forecast that major firms could see a 30–33% drop in profits before tax by 2027. The move is part of regulatory efforts to boost transparency and reduce investor costs, but it also raises significant questions about business models and margins in India’s wealth-management industry.

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on 29 October 2025 that his administration may reduce tariffs on Chinese goods that relate to fentanyl precursor chemicals, contingent on Beijing strengthening controls over supply chains. The announcement comes ahead of his meeting with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and follows recent U.S. efforts to tie trade policy with public-health outcomes. Trade specialists say such linkage could open a new front in trade diplomacy but also introduce more volatility into traditional tariff-strategies.

22h agoNvidia nears $5 trillion valuation as AI demand surges
Nvidia’s market value hit approximately $4.89 trillion after shares jumped nearly 5%, gaining over $230 billion in value, as the AI-chip leader reported $500 billion in bookings and announced seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy. The company briefly touched $4.94 trillion. Analysts say the scale of demand underscores Nvidia's dominance in the AI infrastructure boom, but valuation risks are rising given rising competition and its leadership role in a potentially narrowing market edge.

According to the International Monetary Fund’s latest outlook, world GDP growth will ease to 3.2% in 2025 from 3.3% a year earlier. Weak consumer spending, persistent inflation, and fiscal consolidation across developed markets are weighing on expansion. Emerging economies, particularly India and Southeast Asia, remain bright spots due to robust demand and investment inflows. The IMF advised nations to prioritize targeted fiscal policies and productivity-enhancing reforms. Economists warned prolonged debt servicing burdens could hinder medium-term recovery in key advanced economies like Japan and the Eurozone.

More than $217 million in leveraged positions were wiped out within 24 hours as Bitcoin and Ethereum extended declines amid macro uncertainty. Exchange data from Coinglass showed long-side liquidations concentrated in BTC and ETH futures. Analysts attributed the move to rate-cut speculation, thin liquidity, and automated deleveraging. Despite short-term pain, market participants remain cautiously optimistic, citing robust institutional inflows. Ethereum’s open interest fell 6%, while Bitcoin funding rates turned negative. Traders expect calmer conditions once the Fed and US CPI reports clarify liquidity direction.

Traders priced in a near-certain cut, with bond yields edging lower across maturities. Officials suggested the Fed remains committed to balancing growth support and inflation control while avoiding excessive monetary easing that could reignite price pressures.

Shares of HDFC Asset Management Company dropped 7% on Tuesday after SEBI’s consultation paper suggested new limits on management fees, brokerage payments, and exit loads. Analysts at Motilal Oswal and Nuvama estimate these revisions could compress sector-wide profits by 30–33% by FY27. Nippon AMC and other listed asset managers also declined as investors reassessed earnings outlooks. Market participants said the move underscores SEBI’s broader transparency push, though it introduces near-term profitability headwinds for large AMCs managing high-margin equity funds.

HDFC AMC stock plunged 7% as SEBI’s proposed mutual fund fee caps raised concerns of up to 33% profit erosion across India’s asset managers.
Shares of HDFC Asset Management Company dropped 7% on Tuesday after SEBI’s consultation paper suggested new limits on management fees, brokerage payments, and exit loads. Analysts at Motilal Oswal and Nuvama estimate these revisions could compress sector-wide profits by 30–33% by FY27. Nippon AMC and other listed asset managers also declined as investors reassessed earnings outlooks.

1 day agoIndia’s FY26 growth momentum stays firm on domestic demand, monsoon support, and tax cuts
India’s economic outlook for FY26 remains resilient, supported by robust domestic consumption, healthy monsoon conditions, and recent indirect tax rationalizations. Economists cited continued strength in services, rural recovery, and steady capital expenditure as key contributors to sustaining 6.5–6.7 percent GDP growth. Fiscal discipline remains intact with manageable inflation trends. Experts also noted that infrastructure investment and digital expansion are bolstering productivity gains. The government’s balanced policy mix is expected to support private investment momentum, though global uncertainties may still test export resilience over the next few quarters.

Indian equities saw selective strength in metals, propelling Hindalco and Vedanta up to roughly 2 percent intraday. The move tracked firmer global base‐metal cues and steady domestic demand expectations. Traders pointed to improving risk appetite in cyclicals and supportive commodity prices aiding earnings visibility. While broader indices were mixed, momentum screens flagged accumulation in aluminum and diversified mining exposures. Portfolio managers highlighted sensitivity to dollar moves and China demand signals, but near-term positioning favored metals on risk rotation.

Reliance Industries has announced an increased shift away from Russian crude toward Middle East and U.S. sources as geopolitical sanctions tighten. The company expects Indian imports this quarter to be up about 10% from those regions, reflecting active management of supply-chain risk. The development may reduce reliance on sanction-sensitive Russian supply and provide greater flexibility for India’s energy security. Commodity analysts view this strategic pivot as positive for resilience, though higher logistics and freight costs may press margins in the near term.

Analysts highlight that even though indices are at fresh highs, the underlying participation rate is narrowing. Institutional trading desks warn that if upcoming earnings disappoint or policy signals disappoint, volatility could increase sharply. The confluence of stretched valuations, heavy debt loads in tech infrastructure and geopolitical risks may leave markets vulnerable to reversals despite the near-term bullish posture.

Economists expect the U.S. economy to deliver a robust third-quarter growth rate of approximately 3.8–3.9% annualised, according to the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model. The forecast reflects resilient business investment and consumer demand despite interest-rate headwinds and global uncertainty. Markets view this as a positive signal for growth but it may complicate the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut timetable if inflationary pressures remain. Analysts will watch for corporate margins and capex trends for further clarity on whether growth is broad-based or narrow-driven.

Amazon and UPS announced significant workforce reductions this week, signaling a shifting labour-market landscape. Amazon confirmed plans to cut approximately 14,000 corporate positions as it refocuses on AI, robotics and streamlined operations. Meanwhile UPS revealed it will eliminate up to 48,000 roles, including 14,000 managerial and 34,000 operational jobs, citing restructuring and cost-efficiency goals. These moves underscore broader fears of a “no-hire, no-fire” era ending, with major firms acting proactively amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Analysts say this could weigh on consumer income and spending at a time of policy sensitivity.
